AAA: Teens delay getting driver's permits | WJLA.com
I don't get it -- I couldn't wait to get even my learner's and it drove me nuts waiting an extra 6 months to get my license until I got my grades up. The only thing I can figure is kids today have gotten so used to being chauffeured to so many activities, whereas we walked or biked everywhere that didn't involve busy highways so the idea of motorized transport was a novelty and a huge motivator. My own kid was in no hurry to get his. I still don't get it.
